With some breathing, this wine becomes very lovely. Cherries, strawberries, hint of smoke and vanilla, little pepper-just enough tannins for bite and fresh acidity!! Had it with English cheddar cheese and apples and it worked! — 5 days ago

Double Magnum format; a delicious and exciting way to toast the bride and groom! Loads of citrus with a hint of brioche. A touch creamy. Long finish. A perfect aperitif but pairs deftly with any meal. — 6 years ago

Magnificent, full bodied, plush, decadent Aussie personalisation of a 'Super Tuscan' Cab Shiraz blend. Crafted by master winemaker Andrew Seppelt through Brett Hayes' pioneering newish kid off the block 'Hayes Family Wines'. Don't be fooled by the youth of Brett's venture, these wines display a history and heritage steeped in barossas's finest terroir, knowledge and nous. These are grapes from Barossa's hallowed Ebeneezer dirt, and Shultz vineyard dirt at that. But it's Andrew's knack for oeniological alchemy that extracts the finest from the blend, making a wine that is so plush, rounded and powerful it feels like donning your red velvet smoking jacket and sinking into a soft armchair in your best old slippers.
The only disappointing thing about this wine is that, in my humble opinion, it really needs a good 8-10 years of cellaring to reach its full potential. Have one now to enjoy it's youthful vibrancy and stash the rest of you can leave it alone!
I hear that this will be the only vintage blending both grapes from Barossa soil, so grab this unique vintage while you can. I believe future vintages with be Barossa Shiraz and Coonawarra Cab Sauv. The Aussie finest bride and groom upbringing of this pair. I can't wait to see what the future holds.

Approachable. Lots of floral character, dried pedals, pine tar, mud groom, and tilled garden dirt. Lighter mouthfeel, but classic Nebbiolo tannin. Cherry and strawberry fruit. Dusty. Delicious. Plenty of length. — 4 years ago

Still an adolescent. These wines are the unsung heroes of the Schroeter/Groom-era at Geyser Peak. What a gem. — 10 years ago

Nose and initial taste reminds of a Sauv Blanc with citrus notes, slight pears and green apples. Only a slight amount of butter on the mid palate with only medium acidity. Very enjoyable. — 8 years ago
